Learning Disability Support in Toronto
At Counselling & Behaviour Services, we recognize that learning disabilities can affect more than just academic performance—they can impact self-esteem, emotional regulation, relationships, and mental health. Our therapists provide compassionate, individualized support for children, teens, and adults with learning disabilities, helping them navigate the unique challenges they face both in and outside of the classroom. We use strength-based, accessible approaches tailored to each client’s cognitive and communication style, creating a safe space to explore emotions, build resilience, and develop practical coping strategies. Whether you're a parent seeking support for a child, or an adult looking to better understand how your learning profile affects your daily life, we’re here to help you feel empowered, understood, and supported every step of the way.
How We Support Individuals with Learning Disabilities
At Counselling & Behaviour Services, we offer individualized, strengths-based support for people navigating learning challenges in reading, writing, math, memory, and executive functioning, often alongside ADHD, autism, or sensory needs. Our approach focuses on practical tools, confidence-building, and systems that align with each person's learning style. We collaborate with caregivers, educators, and professionals, and provide advocacy, psychoeducation, and optional coaching tailored to what’s truly meaningful for the individual.
